I design the systemsthat make Africa's blindspots measurable,and fixable.
I work with governments, corporates and development partners to turn a failing outcome into a system they can fund and build: the research, the architecture, the business model and the regulatory pathway.

Four ways to work with me, from first question to a team that builds.

Pains to Systems. It starts with the people a system is failing.

I design the rails that level the odds, because access, not ability, decides most lives.
I grew up in Kenya as a refugee of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. I lived uptown; many of my cousins did not. Same family, different odds, and the difference was access. Every line below is a person, and the system built for them.

Heart & Mind
A look into my mind outside work. Articles, essays and poems, monthly.
A Balkanised Africa: The Arithmetic
Africa's fragmentation is a business model, not a wound. The essay follows the money from Berlin to the CFA franc to raw cobalt, and ends on the one lever citizens hold: public scrutiny, a revolution with a spreadsheet.
A Name
A note on the quiet privilege of belonging to a family name, and on building one worth giving.
Tell me what is failing. We will find out why.
